«El respeto incondicional de la verdad nos obliga a buscarla no sólo en las afirmaciones de nuestros adversarios, sino también en las de nuestros amigos. Esto puede parecer un consejo innecesario, pero no lo es. Quiere decir que no deberíamos aceptar nunca lo que dice un filósofo por ninguna otra razón que por la verdad de lo que dice. “No mires a quién escuchas —dice Tomás—, mas lo que oigas de bueno encomiéndalo a tu memoria”. Un verdadero tomista no exceptuará de esta regla ni al mismo Tomás. Que la razonabilidad de lo que dice justifique nuestra admiración por él, pero no que nuestra admiración por él justifique la razonabilidad de lo que dice.»

Etienne Gilson: El Amor a la Sabiduría. AYSE, pág. 63. Caracas, 1974.

Here's a dumb WIR-Verse idea inspired by Dark Revival's "Find a Gilson" objective and Audrey's "Now THAT'S a fish" line. I figured it'd be funny having her run across Stan the Fishman while visiting The Legacy while not needed in her own game.

I someone to write about Bethany being really into exploring after Jumanji. She uses her photography skills to get a job as a traveling photographer. And she drags along her girlfriend Martha. (And hey if she comes out as nonbinary or trans, that would be cool too)

Martha starts martial arts, and it turns out that she has a knack for it. She ends up becoming a black belt does competitions. She also starts taking dance classes. Bethany goes to all the recitals and competitions that she can. And when she can't she makes sure to have flowers sent to their apartment, and calls her asking how it went.

Fridge turns out to be a zoology genius and gets a scholarship for it. He still plays football, but it's no longer his main focus. It takes him and Spencer longer to get together than it does Martha and Bethany. But when they do, it just feels right. Afterall, Mouse and Bravestone were very close.

Whereas before Jumanji when Spencer was worried and freaked out by pretty much everything, he is now a lot more confident. There is a new air around him, and sometimes he even will smoulder. He still isn't that into working out, but he will drag Fridge hiking and rock climbing. Spencer was the one to ask out Fridge.

(I don't even know what the fic would be like, but I want it. One that ignores The Next Level. Not that I didn't enjoy that one, but I wish that they were each a little bit more effected by their avatars from the game.)
